Not exactly an answer to the OP, but they’ve stopped producing copies of the movie [Barfly](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092618/), so now the few copies that were bought are treated more like collectibles rather than DVD’s. Selling for over $100 on Amazon and Ebay. ---

[QUOTE=labtrash] For TV series, I’m still waiting for [Spaced.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0187664/) at least on this side of the pond. _It’s been 8 years, dammit!_ [/QUOTE] When I saw this post I thought you meant [Spaced Invaders](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100666/) which is apparently on DVD, though I don’t know why. ---

[QUOTE=Eutychus] Also, Roger Ebert would turn in his grave (once he dies, that is) but “North” has never been released on DVD. [/QUOTE] Wow, I did not know that. I saw that film on VHS a when I was a kid, and other than a scene in which a family of cowboys encourage North to eat his dinner to the tune of _Bonanza_, I have forgotten all about it. And the IMDb listing had this unusual fact: > [@](#): > > Featured the lone film appearance of Brynn Hartman, Phil Hartman’s wife and eventually murderer. :eek: I was attempting to look for a great quotation from Ebert’s review other than _that_ line, and did: > [@Roger Ebert](#): > > [North] must represent some sort of lapse from which [director Rob] Reiner will recover - possibly sooner than I will. ---

I came in to bitch and moan about how long I have waited for [Oh! What a Lovely War.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064754/) Then I discovered it is finally out on DVD, so I bought it. Thank you, **Love Rhombus**. It would have been months, possibly years, before I remembered to check for this again. ---

[Cohen and Tate](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097074/) Roy Scheider and Adam Baldwin as two killers who have to transport a nine year old kid 2000 miles by car to be debriefed and killed, and get out-psyched by him. Long slow character study. Not cute. Brilliant. IMO. ---

Duckman Rocko’s Modern Life Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder The Compleat Tex Avery (laserdisc box set) I’ve got the Pink Floyd on laserdisc, but not the Tex Avery, which has gone for over $200 on ebay recently. I think there’s one on now with a $250 starting bid. Oh yes, [here it is](http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-COMPLEAT-TEX-AVERY-5-Laserdisc-LD-BOX-SET-COMPLETE_W0QQitemZ200106152481QQihZ010QQcategoryZ381QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). I’ve bid as high as $125 on them before, but no dice. ---

For TV series’ I’m waiting on both “Early Edition” and “The Wonder Years”. Although there are DVD sets of both of these out on some sites, I hesitate to get them due to the wondering of legality (since some of these sites seem to cram all the shows on 3 or 4 discs and offer them for prices like, 20 to 70 dollars). So I’m waiting for an actual, nationwide release, which has yet to happen. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-movies-are-not-on-dvd/401934.md?page=2)
